Even if the seasons pass and the years pass and the mountains and streams change, I think the KZbin world will never change and will last forever. Whether it was a coincidence or a coincidence based on an unknown mysterious algorithm, I opened my KZbin window and your thumbnail caught my eye. You have the ability to make your videos instantly stunning and attractive. Thank you to the algorithm that made it possible to watch good videos, I hope that you will succeed as you have worked hard for your dreams. Your video gave me happiness that cannot be expressed in words. I am sure that your wonderful video will be loved by many people soon. I'm glad. On the waves waving and swaying on the huge sea called KZbin, my little channel boat is paddling towards my dream today. I am very lucky to have found your video while rowing a small paddle and going endlessly and endlessly. Your video shines the most on my KZbin window right now. Your video is the best video. I wish you could stay by my side forever. In the wide KZbin world like the Milky Way in the night sky, I happened to meet your video as beautiful as a star and enjoyed it as if I was dreaming. My heart seemed sad and shabby, but after watching your video, I became very happy. Thank you. .Please upload your wonderful videos often in the future. Even if the KZbin road is rough and the rain and wind blows and everything in this world moves away from me, I will always leave only your videos in my memory. It's like a foreboding feeling, so my heart is fluttering.

I watch a lot of music video reactions, mostly from the 60s and 70s. I get a chuckle out of a lot of reactors are blown away by musicians singing and playing an instrument at the same time. No computers, no auto tune. Just pure talent. They say Stevie picked up the guitar at age 7, obviously he rarely put it down. Yeah, Stevie had the best stank face ever.

[@carrieroberts1031]

[@Mr.Ekshin]

What really sucks is that I was a teen when SRV was around, and never knew he could do any of this. Sure I heard the occasional studio track on the radio, but those don't even compare. They barely hint at his actual talent. So I merely heard him on the radio (the few tracks of his that made the pop charts), and thought, "kinda groovy, bluesy... not bad". But I wasn't rushing out to buy his albums, or see him in concert. Even today, his albums are mostly just sort of... meh. It's these old live cuts where the magic really happens. Had I known what he could do, I would have been camped out on a sidewalk to buy tickets!

Glad you guys did this one it was the one I voted for on the poll 2 months ago, but it had lost.

[@yambo59]

Best slow blues guitar performance ever recorded - Stevie was a bonafide G.O.A.T. on the guitar. I was luck enough to see him play live twice before he died back in the 80's and ill never forget it, never. Even many of the greatest rock/blues players of all time like Eric Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy and many others openly say how amazing Stevie was - and still is even on these videos.

[@danpals7678]

One day in 82 two girls I worked with asked me if I wanted to go see Stevie with them. I said who? I went. It was at a bar in Dallas. No cover charge and I was hooked. Saw him 2 more times both at bars. The last time Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were sitting at the table next to us just having a beer. They were there to check out Stevie too. Didn't know at the time how great he was.

[@GinMae]

Yep - it's been done... SRV .. never seen any better.. RIP to the GOAT! (also, best "stank face" evah!)

[@sylviapotter6328]

Stevie Ray Vaughan not only played behind his back longer than anyone ever did or ever will imo, he played with his teeth, one handed, no hands just by moving the guitar up and down, broken string, switched guitar in the middle of a solo and never missed a beat,tune his guitar while playing, adjust his AMP'S while playing one handed, behind his head, backwards and even his elbow in Little Wing. Stevie Ray had a career that only span 7 years from his first album Texas Flood that Stevie Ray and Double Trouble recorded in only 1 day in 1983 up to his death August 27th 1990 in East Troy Wisconsin in a helicopter crash. In only 7 years he was inducted into The was the 1st musician to be inducted into the Austin Music Hall Of Fame, in 2000 The Blues Hall Of Fame, he won 6 Grammys, 10 Austin Music Awards, 5 W.C.Handy Awards, Entertainer Of The Year, Instermental Of The Year and inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, he was nominated 51 times and won 21 so if you can find someone who could or can do all that he could let me know because I'd love to see it, I love the guitar. He was an amazing guitarist with so much love for everyone and a sweet soul. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IS THE GOAT. IMO.

Life Without You, live at Capitol theater is astounding

[@harrietmiller3982]

"He's not just a musician, he is a magician"💯 you have that right. And glad to hear you say you want to watch him live as that is where the true magic is. Stevie was truly plugged into the universal River of Music. He stood in the river and let it flow through him🎶🎸💙. His heart beat blue💙 for sure. There has never been a more passionate or committed player ever. He knew he had been given a gift and he never took it for granted. He devoted his life to perfecting and sharing that gift. He would say if he played each time like it was the last time he would ever play it had to be the best he could do. Stevie had earned the love and respect from all the great blues players that he had always looked up to. BB King once said that he (BB) played the blues in sentences and sometimes had to think of something else to say to keep the conversation going. But he said Stevie played the blues in paragraphs and never ran out of things to say. This video is the epitome of that statement. First time landing on your channel and really enjoyed your reactions. May I suggest a very special song and performance called "Life Without You" from the 1985 Capitol Theatre. A composition written by Stevie in tribute to his good friend Charley Wirz a Dallas Guitar shop owner who passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. You are in for a very special treat I promise‼️💯 here is the link and I look forward to your reaction. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoKXg3iPmaieitk

[@SSPVideo]

SRV = THE G.O.A.T.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

I got to see two out of your great three. I was too young for Hendrix, but saw Eddie Van Halen by luck from basically front row center in 1981 when I was 16, and I saw Stevie many times from everywhere in Dallas and especially Austin. I saw his older brother Jimmie play before I ever heard of Stevie. Jimmie’s high school band The Chessmen opened for Hendrix a couple of times, and Jimmie Vaughan bought a broken guitar effect pedal from Jimi Hendrix, fixed it, and gave it to Stevie, because he knew how much Stevie admired Hendrix. So there is a sort of connection or continuity there. If you haven’t seen Stevie play Hendrix’s “Little Wing”, the El Mocambo version is stunningly beautiful. Stevie seems to be in a trance, like he would be sometimes, tapped in to the Source and letting the music take him over and flow through him. I’ve never seen anything else like it. It made you aware that there is something greater than us, because no man can play like that, like you had a glimpse of perfection, of Heaven. That “Little Wing”, like this “Texas Flood”, is the closest I’ve seen to capturing that essence on video.

[@talos2373]

Alright Father and Son Larry and Ethan nice to see you again.

I was there that fatal night in Alpine Valley, WI. The billing was Robert Cray, Stevie Ray & Eric Clapton. Stevie's brother Jimmy (Fabulous Thunderbirds) sat in with his set and Buddy Guy sat in with Eric. All five of them jammed together for the encore. The last song Stevie Ray ever played on stage was Sweet Home Chicago

[@samdavidowicz]

Just want to say this. I was never really much of a music fan until the late 90's. But by happenstance I was watching VH1's "legends" episode on Lynyrd Skynyrd and at the end the TV said "stay tuned for another late great." Then I saw one of the most impressive guitar playing I ever seen. It was then something awakened in me. I bought all his CDs as soon as I could. I credit SRV with helping me be the music fan I am today.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

SRV was a big boost for BB King, Muddy Waters, Jimi and the whole Blues Genre when he hit the charts. All media sales jumped for Blues. Kenny Wayne Shepard's dad was Stevie's manager for awhile, Kenny would travel with them and watch Stevie in aw and it influenced his guitar talent.

SRV was one of the greatest guitarists ever. I was lucky enough to see him on this tour and a few years later once he'd cleaned himself up. He was still brilliant but in a slightly different way. Other great guitarists in a similar blues/rock style that are well worth checking out are Johnny Winter, George Thorogood, Roy Buchanan, Lonnie Mack, Hound Dog Taylor and Gary Moore

[@dreww1609]

The Magic Man. Your response reminded me so much of when I first saw this performance - jaw dropped for life. He was already my favorite but had to order this from a catalogue in the mail in 1994 as a bootleg, and I already wanted it to be great as you root for your favorite right - but what he did blew right on past my love mostly from his "The Sky is Crying" post-humous album release, then he did this - Texas Flood - then closes with "Lenny" (There is a HUGE recommendation - Lenny from el Mocambo - will further leave you mind blown) and I have never seen anyone even remotely touch that performance. The tone he gets out of that Strat alone is otherworldly let alone he was improvising his endless source of soul and he was ON that night - truly, the entire show is a master class and such a sonically luscious an guitar wizardly experience do yourselves a favor - and us as your reactions are awesome - and peep the entire show. But best next one is either "Lenny" or "Little Wing" as far as El Mocambo goes...this is younger party SRV - wild and unconstrained like a bronco ready to explode the stage - then you have late 80's clean and sober SRV - equally amazing but different - a straight assassin - like Uma Thurman when she arrives to kill Bill - cool calm lethal and transcendent - so worth watching in all the Live at Austin City Limits clips in 1989 - but this here, this is the raw unbridled yet sadly struggling personally Stevie But that is part of the Blues mythos good or bad or whatever - and he lived it. But that right there - you can dissect how a human can arrive at being able to do that but part of it involves leaving this dimension, he does - he goes where the monks go who meditate in a cave for 30 years or the Shaman's send you on Ayahuasca - that other place all around us we can't quite see - he dips into that and brings back literal magic - such a quiet and humble and generous dude - he had his own demons but he beat them, but he treated people around him like gold and - if you ever want to hero worship in music, I am glad I happened to end up with Stevie when I was in High School and he had just passed away - before I even knew who he was - not until they released the AMAZING album "The Sky is Crying" did I migrate from worshipping David Gilmour to Stevie - not a bad duo to try to emulate. Big moment - I am so glad you both loved that. Peace in the streetz and a happy Bluesday Tuesday.

SRV chipped a tooth while playing his guitar with his teeth in a concert in Austin in 1984 or 1985

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

What a spectacular performance! SRV sure could make his guitar sing...he was soooooooo good! Scratch that, he wasn't just good, he was GREAT!!! I miss him still. Could you imagine what he would have done in his career if he was still alive today? It boggles the mind thinking about it. I watched a show a while back with him and Albert King jamming and playing some songs. You could see how much fun they were having playing together...the mutual respect and the the interaction between them. It made it so much fun to watch, just seeing the smiles on their faces as they played. I know whatever I suggest now will pale in comparison to this, but here goes. This is an excellent performance by Alice In Chains during their MTV Unplugged set, with a gut-wrenching emotional vocals from the late Layne Staley, another artist who I miss a lot. This is Down In A Hole (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIiuYZ6nn7WGjKs). Cheers!

Little wing live at El Mocambo

[@5avan10]

Years ago I was driving through Wyoming. I had been on the road for a long time and needed to make a "pit stop" due to all the soda I'd been drinking. The only place I could find was a lone tavern on the side of this long stretch of road. I pulled in and parked my car, walked up to the tavern, and opened the door. It was dark and smoky inside, and as soon as I opened the door, everybody in the bar stopped what they were doing and looked up at me. These were all tough-looking dudes, all wearing leather and boots. They all just sat there, looking me up and down, for what seemed like an age. I started to get really nervous, thinking I must have walked into the wrong bar. Then one of them said, "Hey, man, you look just like Stevie Ray Vaughan!" Others grunted and nodded in agreement. Then he said, "Don't worry, that's a good thing." I thanked him and asked where the restroom was. I did have a black Stetson hat on with silver trim, but nothing as flashy or anything like SRV's hat here.

"Van Halen before there was Van Halen?" Well, *technically*, Van Halen came first -- Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't record "Texas Flood" until 1983, while Eddie Van Halen had already been doing his thing for several years by then. (Van Halen's "Eruption" came out in 1978). 🙂

I'm always curious when someone says they're not necessarily an SRV fan. He not only was an unbelievable guitarist, but a very kind and humble man, AND had a great testimony of overcoming a horrendous addiction to cocaine and alcohol. Please explain yourself.

Ethan, you're getting a slight slap echo on your mics from the sound bouncing off that bare back wall. Putting up a drape behind you should help mute it.

[@reallymysterious4520]

When you were talking after the song there was a lot of echo from your mic Ethan

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Haha yeah we had the AC on so it might’ve sounded weird! Should sound better on the next video. -Ethan

Not had any SRV exposure outside of this channel, but he sounds like Fleetwood Mac before Americans (Buckingham and Nicks) joined the band. It was a blues outfit back then and I explored their early material a long time ago. The whole playing a guitar behind his back thing I've seen a few people do - and ELO's Hugh McDowell with a cello, of course. I'm an extremely talented and improvisational person too - just not with any musical instrument! Thanks for the early warning about "POLLLLLLL THURSDAY!" - it gave me a chance to turn the volume down to 12% and it really sounded like a normal person. For every problem there's always a solution! Great reaction, entertaining as always.

Check out SRV with Jeff Healey!

Stevie Ray Vaughn had a sound all his own. Stevie was a great guitarist. There a some others that you may or may not be aware of: Frank Marino - a good sampling of his abilities - Somethings Coming Our Way (kzbin.info/www/bejne/apu4fH2pqZKli6M) Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond the Sun (neoclassical) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2ewhKGQmaugoac) Tony MacAlpine - Hundreds of Thousands (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oarKg6epna99ock) Joe Satriani - Summer Song(from Satriani LIVE!) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXIdqmYbsd2b9k) Steve Vai - Tender Surrender (might want to save this for a react) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6iaZaZ6jLV7bbc) Ethan, I urge you and your dad to take a listen to these as well as your viewers. I'd probably keep The Steve Vai one as a react.

Please give a listen to Tin Pan Alley with Johnny Copeland

Give that guitar a cigarette.

The son didn't blink once and Dad missed 50 % of the show trying to catch zzz's. Missing the visuals here on this one is a shame. I hope your rewind button works.

SRV was on another level. We lost him way too soon. And your audio is a bit funny on this one, lots of echo.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We had the air conditioner on because it was 100F degree out so sorry if the sound was funny. Will be off on the next one! -Ethan

SRV is so much better a guitarist than Pete Townshend - lol - love you Larry !!! I saw him in 1985 opening up for Dire Straits during their Brothers in Arms tour - what a show ! By the way Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits is also a better guitarist than Pete 😛. If you put this in the KZbin search bar you can see the track listing for both bands for that concert: Dire Straits with SRV Live in Toronto, 1985

Maybe you should watch some live Zeppelin and watch the guy that Eddie learned from. I'm not taking anything from Eddie, but his technical abilities paled to Jimmy Page. And you're missing a lot of greats if that's your list. Hendrix was asked what it was like being the greatest guitar player. His response was; I don't know, you'll have to ask Johnny Winter. I think you have a lot more music to experience. Keep it up.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Thank you Scott. We have a playlist of all the Zeppelin songs we’ve done, I believe Black Dog, Immigrant Song, Trampled Under Foot, and a few more are on there -Ethan

[@timeoffnow2]

SRV played with his teeth and chipped a tooth.

[@reallymysterious4520]

I asked a year ago that you react to Jethro Tull flute solo from Tampa and you said you would - looks like it fell off your list ...

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We have a lot to get too MK! So many people requesting things that it’s hard to do them all -Ethan

[@satexman2585]

Ok ...your son just used 'Van Halen' and SRV in the same sentence. Which is wrong on so many levels. You can use....Jimi...and SRV in the same sentence and get away with it. But not 'Van Halen'. Apologize. Now. In a comment below.
